This patch is a rebase and update of the following three patches:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2018-11/msg00298.html
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2018-11/msg00302.html
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2018-11/msg00301.html
I have merged these together into a single commit as the second patch,
adding scope support to nested subroutines, means that some of the
changes in the first patch are now no longer useful and would have to
be backed out. The third patch is tightly coupled to the changes in
the second of these patches and I think deserves to live together with
it.
There is an extra change in cp-namespace.c that is new, this resolves
an issue with symbol lookup when placing breakpoints from within
nested subroutines.
There is also an extra test added to this commit 'nested-funcs-2.exp'
that was written by Richard Bunt from ARM, this offers some additional
testing of breakpoints on nested functions.
After this commit it is possible to place breakpoints on nested
Fortran subroutines and functions by using a fully scoped name, for
example, given this simple Fortran program:
program greeting
call message
contains
subroutine message
print *, "Hello World"
end subroutine message
end program greeting
It is possible to place a breakpoint in 'message' with:
(gdb) break greeting::message
Breakpoint 1 at 0x4006c9: file basic.f90, line 5.
What doesn't work with this commit is placing a breakpoint like this:
(gdb) break message
Function "message" not defined.
Making this work will come in a later commit.
